From the article-

Concentrating firepower for more reliable results
There’s a striking overlap in the approaches used by the different collaboratives, with two of them using an exercise challenge, two focusing on metabolomics and the microbiome, and all of the groups majoring on the immune system.

I'm really happy to see that 2 of the research centers are focused on the microbiome!

I am convinced the microbiome, the immune system and the metabolomics, are the 3 core issues in the cause of me/cfs. With a little luck these researchers will soon make it much clearer how these are all biologically interconnected in me/cfs.

I also think there will be big insights through the exercise challenge research. Very exciting stuff!!

That was me!!! I was feeling so down, then Simon's post came through and later that day Jen Brea spoke about the crowd-rise for M.E Action, so both gave me a boost.
